J1

King George V 300 pieces
A rare puzzle to find complete as the pieces were cut very small and are extremely easily lost. This one is exceptional being in virtually mint condition and comes with its red box that is also in very good condition. The puzzle was made from 1928 - 1932 but because it was difficult to cut, and to make up, it was not very popular and it was produced in much smaller numbers than  the 150 piece version. 

£200
J2 King George V 300 pieces
A rare puzzle to find complete as the pieces were cut very small and are extremely easily lost. This one is complete and in average/good condition and comes with its red box that is pretty good with just a tear at one corner. The puzzle was made from 1928 - 1932 but because it was difficult to cut, and to make up, it was not very popular and it was produced in much smaller numbers than  the 150 piece version. Not quite as good as the previous one but still a very acceptable addition to any collection.

J3 Lost in Transit
The most difficult of the railway puzzles to obtain and the only one with cardboard non interlocking pieces. It was only produced one Christmas and given to workers to encourage them to take more care with parcels. The box does not identify it as a GWR puzzle & many must have been thrown away. This one is complete and in excellent condition and comes complete with its original excellent condition box. A must have if you want to complete your collection!

J5 Caerphilly Castle
The very first puzzle produced by Chad Valley for the GWR. This is one of the original puzzles that would have been on sale at the British Empire exhibition in Wembley in May 1924.The very earliest puzzles had the back of the plywood in blue, some of the pieces not interlocking & were cut around the outline of the loco. The later versions were a much simpler cut & fully interlocking. Although a large number were produced and sold between 1924 - 1928 this a very rare version. The early blue box, in good condition, is with the puzzle that is complete & in good condition with just one piece broken on a thin cut.
£60
J6 Windsor Castle Wavy Edged
The rarest of the three Windsor Castle puzzles in the series. The colours are more impressionist than real and this makes it an attractive picture. This copy is in good condition but has had two pieces replaced.
The replacements were made by the leading husband & wife team and are absolutely fantastic - you would have to turn the puzzle over to realise it has replacements! Two nibs are off and one piece has broken on a thin cut as was often the case. The box is slightly water stained at one side. The puzzle was made from 1926 - 1929 and is one of the rarest of all the puzzles.
